Active vision in immersive, 360° real-world environments.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
How do we construct a sense of place in a real-world environment? Real-world environments are actively explored via saccades, head turns, and body movements. Yet, little is known about how humans process real-world scene information during active viewing conditions. Here, we exploited recent developments in virtual reality (VR) and in-headset eye-tracking to test the impact of active vs. passive viewing conditions on gaze behavior while participants explored novel, real-world, 360° scenes. In one condition, participants actively explored 360° photospheres from a first-person perspective via self-directed motion (saccades and head turns). In another condition, photospheres were passively displayed to participants while they were head-restricted. We found that, relative to passive viewers, active viewers displayed increased attention to semantically meaningful scene regions, suggesting more exploratory, information-seeking gaze behavior. We also observed signatures of exploratory behavior in eye movements, such as quicker, more entropic fixations during active as compared with passive viewing conditions. These results show that active viewing influences every aspect of gaze behavior, from the way we move our eyes to what we choose to attend to. Moreover, these results offer key benchmark measurements of gaze behavior in 360°, naturalistic environments.
